A handoff brief at rotation change: open incidents, recent deploys, and what the next person should watch.
On-call handoffs are a two-line message and a prayer. The outgoing engineer's week of context -- the flaky alert, the deploy to watch, the customer who keeps pinging -- evaporates at 9am Monday.
The incoming engineer discovers the context at 3am Tuesday, mid-incident, which is the single worst time to learn anything.
At rotation change, this routine compiles the handoff: open issues, recent changes, noisy alerts, and the things that deserve a watching eye.
The pager changes hands with the picture intact. The next engineer starts informed instead of starting blind.

Every Monday morning prepare an on-call handoff brief for the incoming engineer
Chat skills wait for you. Routines do not.
With a Claude or ChatGPT skill, you are the integration: copy the email, paste the calendar, explain the background, then carry the answer back out.
Littlebird skips the middleman. It reads the sources directly, runs on your schedule, and your data is never sold or used to train a model.
At your rotation time -- set the schedule to your team's handoff moment and it compiles then.
It works from your connected context: incidents, deploys, and the week's notes around them.
It compiles the brief for you to hand over. Paging stays with your existing on-call tooling.
